thank you alan. we appreciate you coming on the phone. alan harry, c.e.o. of the spartan commodity fund. >> tom: still ahead, chevrolet gambles on higher gas prices, betting they'll attract buyers for its diesel-fueled chevy cruze. >> susie: no snow day here at the new york stock exchange, but it was a light day of trading. still stocks moved higher, as investors were encouraged by positive news on trade and the unexpected narrowing of the trade gap. we'll have more on that in a moment. the dow rose almost 50 points, the nasdaq added 28, the s&p 500 up 8.5 points. for the week, the dow fell a fraction, the nasdaq gained about 1.5%. the s&p also up on the week. >> tom: thanks to less foreign oil coming into the u.s. and more made in america products shipped overseas, the u.s. trade deficit fell sharply last month. the combination now has economists believing the economy grew in the last few months of 2012, even though data out last week showed the economy fell slightly in the fourth quarter. but a closer look shows some cause for caution. darren gersh report
